After a decade of gaslighting that NATO had nothing to do with the causes of the war, after five years of (often hysterical) demands to read the whole of East European (and not only) history through ethnonationalist lenses, and after ridiculing the slightest hint that the Russian ultimatum on the eve of the invasion was real and should have been taken much more seriously, there is now a deafening silence about why the European security architecture is on the agenda of the most serious negotiations so far, and why the Russian side identifies it as the root cause of the war.

Also, the fact that it is European security that is on the negotiating table, and not, let's say, the “decolonization” of Russia, says something significant about whether the war grew out of an “irrational” obsession or was part of the material forces driving global change, aligned with rational interests.

@huruufi @magian313 @3bdal7ujjah i believe the makeup of baghdad shifted significantly in the mid-2000s. not sure why though

I have been saying this for ages now, but the sudden tolerance of pro-Palestinianism and anti-Zionism by the ruling class after decades of suppression is no accident.

Think about it: had it not been advantageous for them, it would have been crushed overnight like pro-Russia sentiment was in spring 2022.

What appears to be grassroots anti-Zionist outrage is increasingly being primed for weaponization by the liberal international order for great-power competition.

Institutional tolerance of anti-Zionism was a calculated effort to establish a precedent of moral indignation that can be redirected against Beijing.

From Anti-Zionism to NATO Islamism: Gaza Genocide ➡️ Yogurt Genocide

Uyghurdomor: The goal is to engineer a direct pivot from Gaza to Xinjiang, channeling that exact anti-genocide sentiment towards NATO’s geostrategic objectives: the containment and destabilization of China.

@SameeraKhan as someone who has disagreed with you on many other things, you are 1000% right about this

[RJ Moreau 🇧🇹 @toxictiramisu]

NATO backed jihadist groups in Syria to overthrow Assad, providing arms, training & intel. Allied states coordinated 2013 prison breaks to free Islamist leaders, recruited European Muslims through prisons and mosques, and trained 40K fighters. The force exceeded 350K mercenaries.

it's depressing seeing so many people's defeatism when it comes to Venezuela. they read headlines and think "that's it. now we shall condemn Venezuela." the people, the communes, the chavistas are all still there. they haven't given up on their country, and neither should you.

🇳🇪🇩🇿 Niger and Algeria send a clear message to the European Union: African sovereignty is not negotiable.

Algeria has firmly rejected the statements of the European Union spokesperson, while Niger has summoned the EU representative in Niamey to formally notify him of its blatant rejection.

Neither Niamey nor Algiers need Europe's permission to make decisions in the interest of their nations.

National sovereignty is a red line. Africa must decide its future for itself!

العلوي استقبله بالشام معزز مكرم
العلوي دعمه بالسلاح والمال والاعلام
العلوي طالعه من الاعتقال الاسرائيلي

بالله عليكم ألا يخجل اعلاميي حماس وبعض الفلسطينيين من وصفه بالاقلوي؟ ومن شتم معتقدات العلويين والتعرض لها؟

هل اصبحت مهمة الفلسطيني تقييم معتقدات الناس او تحرير ارضه؟

[Volodymyr Ishchenko @Volod_Ishchenko]

Yes, it is so much better to have an ethnostate on 80% of your land, one that is disintegrating into infighting, mafia-like and mafia-connected groupings calling themselves “security services,” “intelligence,” “anti-corruption,” “army,” and “national guard,” all clients of different sections of the Western (and non-Western) elites, all locked in a forever war with Russia, with “free democracy” for everyone who is not banned, sanctioned, arrested, pushed into exile or underground, or ostracized by “civil society,” which flourishes on all this because it provides the backdrop for a stable flow of Western aid and grants. Something like Syria or Libya is so much better than Georgia.

Hafez al Assad (RA) was no pushover, but neither was he a man who allowed personal rivalries to dictate Syria’s future.

He stood with Iran against Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War, even shutting down Iraq’s oil pipeline through Syria in 1982. Yet when circumstances changed, he was willing to rebuild relations with the very man he had opposed.

He initiated the reconciliation that later saw Syria reopen the Kirkuk–Baniyas oil pipeline, providing Saddam’s government with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue that helped sustain the Iraqi state and its ability to pay government employees and soldiers during the sanctions era.

He understood the difference between standing firm on principle and being consumed by hostility. He could confront an adversary without making him an eternal enemy to benefit the greater enemy.

He was not a man who could be intimidated, nor one who believed every disagreement had to become an everlasting war.

That was Hafez al Assad (RA): a leader who understood that strength was not merely knowing when to stand against someone, but knowing when to make peace.
